The music video was filmed in Stockholm, Sweden, and was directed by Jordan Rossi.

On November 29, 2021, Hazbin Hotel storyboard artists Arielle Somerville and Tony Raphielle released a music video featuring the song. The music video is an animatic of the characters Valentino, Vox, and Angel Dust, with series creator Vivienne Medrano calling it "a perfect song a kickass visual". Following Raphielle's work on the music videos for "Addict" and "Poison", a fully-animated version of the music video is in development.

Well if you were wondering where I've been, this is your answer! After years of dabbling in storyboarding, I've finally gotten an opportunity to work on a professional animated project, and by some crazy cosmic coincidence I was hired to do boards for Angel Dust, a character that I truly believe changed my life this year with how much he's inspired me. Angel means everything to me and I'm so thankful and honored that I was able to help work on his official cannon (I'm guilty that I adore Valentino too, so getting to work on both him and Angel together…UGH, YES). Seriously this whole process blew my mind, I hope everyone enjoyed what I contributed, I love the SpindleHorse team and I cannot wait to help with more in the future :')
